@davoh Thank yo for sharing that reflection. I could definitely hear Parker Palmer infusing your writing, such as: “I wish that that faculty retreat had instead focused on character.” It’s helpful for me to get a view into the challenges you face as you teach.
@dswanson 2 Corinthians 8:16-24, “We are generous stewards—faithful caretakers—of all God has given us.”
@ayjay Wow! We’ve never experienced that here. As autumn arises, we do see them becoming more aggressive but not to that level!
@ayjay This is a sad conclusion for me to read. The squirrels in Milwaukee don’t eat all the veggies we make in our raised beds. Is this a Waco, TX, situation?
@ayjay I loved this book when I read it a few years back. There is something special about an inside view into the real, earthy friendship of two people through their personal letters.
@ablerism I’m glad to hear that’s the case. We have a few students there from our church family and I hope they benefit from reading it!
@ablerism That is such a moving and beautiful book.
@frjonjordan As are your photos from your travels!
@adders I feel the same way, which is why I shared it.
@davoh Great idea.
@ablerism One of our friends has been hosting something like this on Monday nights. Everyone brings something and it’s all very casual, fun, and relational. So many joy-filled conversations. Good on you for doing this!
@frjonjordan Congratulations!
@ayjay A wonderful collection by a wonderful writer with such attention to the world.
@JimRain It is a beautifully written novel with so much to leave one pondering. I’m glad you read it!
